Volkswagen Beetle 1977 Seat Retrim
Harry Pitcher • January 28, 2022
This set of Volkswagen Beetle seats have seen quite the transformation. The customer originally contacted us through our d:class autoshop for some blue velour. The material that was purchased was to be used for a retrim, however this changed when the customer collected their material. Once they had seen the standard of our work, they decided to book the retrim in with ourselves.
Below is the before images of the seats. As you can see they were in desperate need of some d:class treatment.
New horse hair pads have been supplied and fitted to the front seat frames to ensure the customer is totally satisfied. As previously mentioned, blue velour has been selected to replace what was and blue vinyl for the borders and piping.

As mentioned in the Seat section, all of our lasering was accomplished by Chris and Marc from Formation Industries. The tartan pattern was a perfect replica, even the shape and texture of a real piece of tartan material was achieved... somehow, but that's Formation Industries. We have since had samples come through with this pattern in a variety of colours which we now offer as part of any retrims. We are not limited to replicating tartan, but have previously recreated houndstooth which was lasered into distressed leather for another customer. Got a pattern in mind? get in touch and we can make it happen. Not only did Formation Industries laser our seats, but this pattern was repeated onto the headlining and door cards. The dashboard saw multiple SRS Airbag emblems lasered into the dash top and lower dash panels. The floor mats also feature "SLR HDK" logos repeatedly creating a pattern.
